That's the thing that really gets me about Legend of Korra. She is constantly living with the shadow of Aang, who faced as his first real test, a truly global threat in Ozai and the Fire Nation. Korra is facing a much smaller threat as her first test, but because she is woefully unprepared, and because she has no idea of the ways Aang screwed things up as he went along, and because it's her first time, she feels like a total failure for every little problem. And eventually, she'll be taking threats like Amon in stride. They'll be normal and everyday things. But this is her first time, so it feels a little insurmountable to her right then.
